Drought Persists

All of the Florida Keys remain in Moderate Drought conditions as of March 3, 2023. Unfortunately, rain chances will remain slight at best (10-20 %) through Thursday night. We do expect rain chances to increase towards the end of the week. However, we remain in a deficit of close to 3 inches up to this point in time. Burn bans are possible, trees and bushes will begin browning, and water supply may decrease.
